John watched as the last of the contractors exited the
graveyard. His gaze lingered as the gate swung shut slowly, and audibly. John
took a deep, cold breath, satisfied that he was finally alone. His breath
condensed into a vapor around him as he exhaled. He turned around to face the effigy
of Al Harris that had been warming his back, and held out his hands close to
the smoldering straw man as he tried to regain some feeling in his fingers. It
was barely five in the evening, and the sun had already gone down; not unusual
for this time of year in northern Minnesota. As his hands warmed up, John
looked over at the massive limestone structure nearby, which until a few
minutes before, had housed a half dozen independent contractors as they
renovated the building. The contractors had just finished the final touches,
and as head groundskeeper at Greenwood Cemetery in Virginia, MN, it was John’s
duty to inspect the work done on the cemetery’s most brilliant mausoleum.
